  I know that this is an odd request, but I’ve recently moved to WordPress and have 40 or so blogs from my iWeb site that I’d like to transfer across. Can I insert them in WordPress under their original dates? Or will I have to repost them as of now?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You should read this:

  Unfortunately, you can’t directly upload your iWeb site here, but we can import the contents of your iWeb’s RSS feed into a WordPress.com blog.

  You could, of course, copy and paste each individual post into your new WordPress.com blog and edit the publish date.

  As for comments, see here:

  Great. Although I couldn’t follow through from the forum comment that you cited, I did find how to backdate posts under ‘Publish Immediately’. Many thanks.
